Have you encountered a wild flamingo in Florida? [View all]

Jim Mooney (R state legislator) wants to drop the mockingbird as our state bird and replace it with the flamingo.
The mockingbird is endemic to ALL of Florida and has been our state bird for over a century. It's song is so refreshing when I'm working in the yard- it is amazing so much sound and so many themes are presented in a single song.
The only place I've seen flamingos is at Disney World, and maybe SeaWorld.
Ever hear a flamingo sing?
